Camber correction bolts

So I just got done putting on the BBK with J30 calipers and noticed that my newer Maxima 17's fit but the wheel weights hit so I had to grind them down to fit so I could at least make sure there were no issues with other fitment. So taking it in tomorrow to get them re balanced with more smaller weights. and I have a set of the camber correction bolts, are the bolts worth it the are quite a bit smaller than the stock bolt and doesn't seem the safest to me. If so which hole should they go in the upper or lower and how the hell do you put the washer/tab thing on. Also should the wheel clearance be that thight, i guess it kinda has to be seeing thats what it is but it's definately close.

The camber bolts replace the upper strut-to-steering knuckle bolts. Since the diameter is less than the holes, the "cam lobe" and washer tab can fit in. Just get a hammer or similar blunt object to smack 'em in. If you want to add more positive camber (probably) then align the tab so it's on the side closest to the car. Turn the bolt while keeping the tab in place until the desired camber is attained, then hold it steady with a wrench and tighten the nut.

I've heard of people worrying about them breaking but never firsthand heard of them breaking. I've been using them for a year with no problems. Keep in mind the torque spec is less than the normal bolt, like ~70ftlbs I believe.

My camber bolt broke on me but only because it was overtightened. Other than that, they work the same as camber plates but are FAR cheaper (unless you have provided coilovers).
